5th Grade Self Portraits

Our incredible 5th Graders created these self portraits demonstrating a great understanding of how to best use line and shape in design. Artists searched high and low for the best collage pieces to create their "Shape" portrait, and then used words to create their "Line" portrait. The two images side by side play off each other to create a powerful final piece. 

Paper Bag Bird Kites Take Flight!

I love these!! Our 2nd graders were doing a science unit on birds and flight. Every year, our 2nd graders also create a "Pike's Market" for our science fair where they sell handmade goods and crafts. We decided to create these amazing collages with tissue paper on paper bags, and they were a huge hit at the sale! Gasworks, here we come!!
